"The Democratic party in all its great career never had a grander opportunity of public usefulness.

It is doubly inviting, because not only will the highest sentiments of public right and Justice inspire the battle, but the conflict will be magnificent in proportions and the victory splendid in its fruit. "I am alive in feeling, Mr. Chairman, to the many other deeds of mlsgovern-ment and folly to which you allude that have shocked the public conscience and put to shame our traditional glory as a people loving liberty and Justice. True it is, besides, that nothing of adequate return to the people can be expected for the waste of treasure and life which has been recklessly and foolishly made. True, too, and Of far greater moment that a free people jeopardize their own liberties when they attempt to force unhallowed subjugation on other men in pursuit of that fatuous folly of re publics, colonial dominion.

Democracy Able to Restore Rig-ht. "Cannot the Democratic party do this great thing? Cannot we gain from its thorough understanding of the rights of man a clear vision-of the true source and mainspring) of these mighty evils which have become so harmful, so menacing to our countrymen, and enkindle the noble love of fierce, uncompromising fight for noble ends Which marks Its history of usefulness and glory? There stands before us in arrogant defiance, Its natural, dearest enemy, unmistakable, never so boldly uncovered, never more flagrantly violating the common right. i i "Under the false and deceitful name of protection to industry there hais arisen such a system of combining devices of legislation, with devices of business management to obtain mastery of the people as, was never before seen In this or any other land, the iniquity of which it would be hard to find any parallel for unless In Oriental despotisms.

makes allies at public cost, adding to a seeming need of taxation, for through tax laws its snares are commonly set. The burden upon the labor of the country by the growth of needless, excessive expenditure has become epormous. The share which tbe people of Wisconsin pay of this, proportioned to population, rises far above $15,000,000 a year, and Is probably $20,000,000. What would tbey say if it were exacted by direct instead of indirect taxation? "Two hundred millions annually does not overstate the amount which ought to be saved by the nation, now needlessly, extravagantly expended, were the government administered In the in terest of its taxpayers. But I cannot extend this mention into discussion in this communication, although it deserves unspalrlng exposition.

Kinds Bang-Una- In State. "The affairs of the country at large naturally excite superior interest in general but our peculiar conditions in Wisconsin, if less momentous, not less plainly require restoration of its government to Democratic principles. Let but a united, earnest party proffer such administration by the harmonious nomination of true and worthy men to their suffrages and it can hardly be believed the people of the State will prefer for the conduct -of their public business the agency of a party so rent and torn by faction, so bitter in its antaganisms that no concord In office can be possible among its contending partisans. We i had striking proof of the ill effects of such a state of things in. the last Legislature, which was so vexed by discussion that the public interests had hard struggle for any con-antagonisms that no concord in office mands of factional strife, not to speak of other instances.

"And what would have been the clamor of its adversaries had the Democratic party perpetrated such follies as the people have heavily paid for in the bungling attempt at alleged reforms in taxation? Tax Commission Eats Taxes. "Upon the theory that large corporate interests escaped their fair share of burden a commission was created a few years since to discover the truth and suggest a remedy. What has been the net result? Not a dollar of addition to corporate taxes, but nearly a million needlessly exacted from the people last year, and the same doubtless to be taken again this year, and, worst even that that, more officials provided at Increased cost, and new methods set on foot to press inquisition against in dividual citizens throughout the Statfe. "It does not help the' matter that much of the addition tax levies were for public schools, because the schools were already satisfactorily provided for, and, in fact, the levy was not made to raise the moneys for them, but was the result of other steps recklessly taken in pursuit of an Ill-digested the ory of reform. "And to what good end is this new system of personal Inquisition? What good object is to be served by raising valuations of citizens' properties to the highest point reached now and then by occasional sales, when all must know that such prices in no just sense fix the value of the mass of property? Why create new officers to make close search for the calculation of value of every head of stock or implement of hus bandly simply to swell to the utmost the grand total? Corporations Escape High Taxes.

"The favorite' argument of the cor porate interests, whose escape from just taxes it was professed required this expensive special attention, has constantly been that In fact the people's share of taxation was proportionately less than theirs. The last Legislature accepted that argument and refused increase of corporate taxes: still mnr. by this new system seemingly sought to demonstrate its truth by adding everything possible to the taxing list of citi- sens and swelling Itj valuation. So that in the outcome the property of cltlzens has been raised to near three times its former estimation for purposes of state taxation, and that of these cor porations left unchanged, and the tax returns now show many single taxpayers, no men of large wealth by any means, to pay more taxes than the great express and sleeping car companies combined; yea, many farmers of the State also to pay more than some of these companies which have great possessions and do a large business in our borders. Lairs' Object to Protect All.

"Whatever may have been the purpose of (the promoters of this new system, it is clearly evident the great railway and corporate Interests could have devised nothing more ingeniously con tributary to their arguments or better calculated to maintain them in their present position. "But unless to correct insufficiency In their taxation there was on adequate warrant for any of this effort at pro-, feseed reform. The. State has already enjoyed an abundant and easy revenue, taxes for its purpose have never been enormous', and not he least occasion existed to multiply exactions and visit Inquisition upon its citizens. "Nd doubt there will always be some Inequalities in assessment and some Injustice of tax levy as between individuals.

My Dear Sir: I am very sensible of the distinction of your request.

As a Democrat I cannot hesitate to respond, for could you so have the least aid to Democratic unity I should be recreant to withhold it, and the more because the country's noM of a return to Democratic principles could hardly be greater than at the present time. "Whether anything: now stands ih the way of a harmonious and enthusiastic Democracy in Wisconsin' depends upon the sentiments of many wmch i cannot presume to Know, tsm I earnestly believe nothing ought to stand in the way and hope that nothing will. It appears to me as simply a question of patriotic devotion to the public welfare, and good men cannot but see their duty to strive for unity in such a cause. "That our party division has been deplorable in resulting: public injury 1 think all true Democrats agree. But no concord will follow any inquiry into Its causes, reasons or history, and especially into the fault for it.

There can be no further profitable political discussion of them. Let ths Pail Bur It Dead. "Yet upright men can put by such differences with no loss of mutual respect In patriotic submission to present duty and loyally co-operate upon common ground for principles all know to be right and necessary to- their country's good. Nothing can be more evident to one who takes a broad view of the nature of public, affairs or of our political history than that achievement of good is only to be won by leaving and pushing5 undisturbed to the great ends open in the future.

The wise man will no more permit disappointment of opinion to thwart or warp his contribution to future objects than by driving a stake in it he would think to check the river's flood. It needs but a thought upon the immensity of the. concerns of so numerous a people, upon the happiness that belongs of right to the millions of home circles which are the treasures and rewards of the -free-; men of America, both to show the futility and sin of trying to block pro- I gress with the half-burned fagots Of extinguished controversy, and to lm-i press on every high-minded man the sense of duty to so discharge his part toward the hopes of the future that he need never cringe before his self-respect.
